Newly unsealed records reveal Amazon's price-fixing tactics, California attorney general claims

[orleans]

4. my local grocery store - jewel (a part of albertsons i think) was upping prices at the check out all the

fucking time.
i always went thru a check out with a cashier, never thought i'd do self checkout.
but...
i couldn't keep up with the cashier b/c they rang everything through so quickly and i'd still be putting my crap up on the belt. but i'd get home and notice i'd been screwed out of fifty cents, a dollar, etc. just with their little price fucking.

after a year i'd had enough. now i do self check out all the damn time, i write the shelf prices down on a piece of paper as i'm shopping and more than half the time i'm calling someone over to adjust the price. sometimes they check but mostly they just believe me since i've been doing it for so long and every time they checked it turned out i was right.

it just pisses me off that the store is so deceptive.

yesterday i was buying sour cream. it rang up on sale for .30 off. but the sign in the cooler showed it was .50 off. so i called someone over, told her, she looked it up on her phone/ap/whatever and nope, just .30 cents off. i said nope -- the sign said .50 and i showed her the price i had written down on my paper. so she went all the way to the back of the store. she returned with the tag from the cooler, said i was right, corrected the error in the checkout, and said she tore the tag down since it was put in the computer differently.
